People that whinge about DNB getting commercial recognition need to be kicked in the face repeatedly.

DNB is not just about going to raves, getting drugged off your nut and thinking you know it all. DNB didn't even get air time before about 4 years ago. Its fucking big moves for the music.

when it was underground everyone whined and asked why it didnt get the deserved recognition - now that it does get big people pick on that, too.

and lets be honest here - A fucking LOT of us are only hear bc of pendulums hold your colour, some sub focus tune or the netsky-fad. just because you grew out of it doesnt equal its bad - or that others shouldnt have the chance of doing what you did - discover the music on your means and not someone elses.

for clarification, TL; DR: I REALLY HATE THAT ELITIST ATTITUDE WHICH IS DISPLAYED BY MOST DNB-HEADS .

It was a move that paid off because in addition to toppling last week’s number one – Aloe Blacc – from the top spot, with sales of over 121,000 they have scored the third biggest selling single of 2014 with their re-titled drum ‘n’ bass re-working of Kanye West’s Bound 2.

Blimey. 121.000 sales for a dnb song (don't get me started on Rudimental) is ridiculous. Hopefully some of the people who bought it will be inspired to learn more about dnb

But what the hell is this bit about?

‘People keep saying to us that drum ‘n’ bass is kinda dying, but, if you look at the last couple of years, you’ve got people like Wilkinson, Chase And Status and Sub Focus all breaching the charts with drum ‘n’ bass tracks. And I think the fact that this track has got to Number 1 above a commercial pop band says it all really.’

I want to know who these people are because clearly they know absolutely nothing about a genre of music that is as far away from dying as is possible
